Potatoes
- 4 large russet baking potatoes
Steak and Seasoning
- 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1–2 tbsp butter or oil, for cooking
Parmesan Cream Sauce
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
- 2 tbsp chopped chives or green onions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Scrub the russet potatoes clean. Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 45-60 minutes until skins are crisp and the insides are tender when pierced with a knife.
- Cook the Steak: Season the steak with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with butter or oil. Cook the steak to your preferred doneness. Let it rest before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the Parmesan Cream Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and simmer gently until slightly thickened, stirring continuously. Remove from heat and stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and velvety.
- Assemble the Steak-Stuffed Baked Potatoes: Once cooled slightly, slice potatoes lengthwise and scoop out most of the fluffy interior, leaving a sturdy shell. Mix the scooped potato with a spoonful of parmesan cream sauce. Layer steak pieces inside each potato shell, top generously with more parmesan cream sauce, and bake for 5-10 minutes to meld flavors and warm through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions. Serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- Choose russet potatoes for fluffy interiors and sturdy skins ideal for stuffing.
- Let steak rest after cooking to keep it juicy and tender.
- Grate Parmesan fresh for best flavor and smooth cream sauce texture.
- Don’t skip garlic; it adds essential depth to both steak and sauce.
- Warm cream sauce gently—avoid boiling—to prevent curdling and separation.
